If the weather is nice, lets meet at the Mountain View Park, under the pavilion. Monday, June 24th, 6:00 P.M. Bring a lawn chair just in case the pavilion is occupied. If the weather doesn’t want to play nice, we’ll head over to the BV Senior Center. We need to discuss upcoming events, including the obstacle course competition. Hope to see everyone there.
Meet at Tow String parking Area – Requires a day parking pass or a yearly pass for the Great Smoky Mountain National Park. We will ride out Bradley Creek, cross the creek/steel bridge and head up to Cabin Flats Primitive Horse Camp. Some may go on up to reach the top of 5600+ft to the junction of the Appalachian trail to go out on the rock outcropping of Charlie’s Bunion; it is one of the most spectacular views in the park. The trail is challenging and requires a slow and steady pace. Bring saddle bags with plenty of food, water, and snacks. The Cabin Flats group can enjoy a beautiful meadow alongside the creek to enjoy lunch before heading back out. The Charlie’s Bunion trip is roughly a 21.5 mile round trip distance, and the cabin flats distance is about 13 to 15 miles round trip. Recommend shows on all four hooves.
